Summary: Peter never got around to taking off the "Training Wheels" Protocol Tony installed in his new and improved suit. Peter now being an adult assumed Tony had left that habit behind...he couldn't be more wrong.(not based off MCU, no Avengers have died, no Infinity War, Spider-Man is a grown man now. 🤝)





	1. Chapter 1

**Author's Note:**

> Bottom Wade  
> Top Peter  
> Angry Tony  
> And the Avengers have laugh. (Except for Tony and Steve)

"Maybe we should take this inside?" A gruff voice suggested, a voice coming from a man in a red and black suit. One very similar to Spider-Man's —some would say— however a man named Wade Wilson begged to differ. He had made his suit first so Spider-Man's was actually similar to Deadpool's costume not the other way around, he'd argue, but right now; Peter could care less about who did what first. Right now, Peter was dying to see Wade with the uncomfortably tight suit off. 

"Sure," Peter replied with a hint of awkwardness. Peter was all down for— whatever this is; but he couldn't help but recall that he had only ever been with girls. Sure, he'd given out a couple hand jobs here and there but what Wade had suggested was far more...intimate. 

Wade led Peter into a bedroom far down the hall of Wade's humble abode. If humble meant dirty, covered in blood and food stains, and littered with weapons. Wade immediately jumped onto the bed, past all the posters of hot girls, video games, and— was that a Spider-Man poster? 

Oh yeah, Peter was definitely going to keep his suit on for this. As much of it as he could anyway. "Hey, um, do you have any...ah...condoms?" Peter asked as he shuffled closer to the creaking bed. Wade pushed his upper body up, making the fragile bed creak more as he reached into the drawer next to his bed. 

"For sure Baby-Boy, you want lube too?" Wade offered Peter a thin and squared packet along with a half-full bottle of lube. 

"Thanks.." Peter snatched the items and took a deep breath before sitting down at the foot of the bed. "Listen, Wade..." 

"If you're going to back out of this, Pete, don't beat around the bush because I won't mind. I swear, consent plays a big role in this Baby-Boy and I won't feel comfortable doing this unless you're a hundred PUH-cent sure." Wade grinned, making his mask wrinkle comically. Peter felt his heart swell, he and Wade had been hanging out lately. And though Peter had been dubious in the beginning, he had learned Wade wasn't as cynical as his reputation made him out to be. 

"I'm not backing out." Peter laughed as he heard Wade sigh in relief. "I'm sure about this I just don't...really know how this goes..." Peter admitted. Wade peeled his own mask off, Peter glanced quickly at the scars but it didn't faze him.

"I'll teach you."

And with that husky voice and those enticing blue eyes, Peter tackled Wade onto the bed and kissed him roughly. Wade moaned into the heated kiss and grinded his hips against Peter's. Quickly, Wade's suit came off and Peter's did too, except for the half-lifted mask. Peter knew Wade would get excited about getting fucked by his favorite superhero. Besides, this helped Peter keep his physical identity on the down low from Wade. Peter knew Wade's good people but...you never know.

Wade gasped when he felt Peter spread his cheeks apart, Wade's legs were stretched out on Peter's shoulders as the all to eager spider nipped and licked at Wade's quivering hole. Wade arched his back at the feeling. "Ah- Peter...oh FUCK." 

Peter glimpsed up at Wade through half-lidded eyes, he nudged his nose against Wade's balls, avoiding any direct attention at Wade's erect cock. "Peter, can you uh— sPEed up the prOceSS a little?! Thanks!" Wade gasped. Peter chuckled at the man's impatience. 

"You sure Wade? 'Cuz I was enjoying the view from down there~" Peter purred, crawling up towards Wade's face. Peter felt confident for the first time in a long time, usually his sexual encounters are awkward, but with Wade underneath Peter and acting all needy...it really made Peter feel good. In several aspects.

"Yes! Oh, Chuck, yes! Peter I need you to fill me up! Fuck me!" Wade moaned out before Peter slipped a lubed finger into Wade's ass. Wade released a sigh, and pushed down onto Peter's finger, which was soon followed by another. "Ooh! Hello neighbor." Wade joked as he rolled his hips. Peter grunted ad he looked down at his neglected and aching cock.

"I don't know how much longer I'll hold." Peter admitted, to which Wade responded with a smirk. 

"Then fuck me already. Unless you're scared~?" Wade challenged with a tease. Peter huffed and aggressively rolled the flavored condom Wade had given him and slathered lube onto his now "suited up" dick. 

"Ready?" Peter whispered as he tugged at Wade's bottom lip.

"Born ready, Spider-Babe." Wade grunted. Peter pushed in slowly into Wade, adjusting and getting used to the feeling. 

"Am I doing this right?" Peter asked nervously. 

"Fuck— yeah..yeah you are baby just—ung! Move! Fuck, move!" Wade gasped and reached down to tug at his cock. Peter did at told and began to slowly thrust in and out, it was a wonderful feeling. Wade was so tight around his dick, and Wade's thighs were doing wonders around Peter's waist. Clenching at every thrust, as Wade's back arched when Peter hit Wade's prostate.

"Ah yes! Right there!"

"Yeah? Right there sexy?" Peter responded encouragingly. Thrusting faster into the same spot. Wade clutched onto Peter's mask, grabbing hold of Peter's neck for any sort of guidance as Wade was pounded into the mattress. Wade heard the headboard of the bed begin to crack. He couldn't care less.

"Yes! Oh fuck! Don't stop!"

\----  
The moans filled the Avenger's common room. The TV had suddenly programmed the audience to a new and...more interesting "show". Seeing it through Peter's own Spider-Lenses, Peter Quill, Tony, Steve, and Black Widow were watching Wade Wilson getting the living shit fucked out of him by their very own Spider-Man.

"You get some Spidey!" Quill whooped. 

"What the actual fuck?!" Tony yelled, dropping his coffee in a fit of rage.

"Language!" Steve retorted.

"Huh, Wilson's pretty flexible." Was Natasha's input. The TV screen showed Wade's legs now pressed up closely against him, his knees close to his face, as Peter thrusted deeper into him. The two huffed and moans at each thrust, Deadpool had been rendered speechless and was grunting and pleading for more with his moans. 

Tony growled at the sight. He realized Peter was no longer a child but that didn't make him any less of his responsibility. Well, Tony sort of just adopted Peter when he met him so, yes! He was responsible. Sort of. Not legally. He didn't literally adopt him. But that made no difference! Tony was glad he kept those Baby— Training Wheel Protocols on so he'd know what Peter was up to. And look! They came in handy.

Tony was fuming, and Peter was about to be grounded. Sort of. In a sense. Whatever!

"Woah, chill out Ton-es. Pete's just hitting some...scarred up meat." Quill explained in attempt to calm Tony down.

"Yeah, FUCKING DEADPOOL." Tony screeched. "I'm calling his ass over here right now." 

Suddenly the Spider-Man theme song began to play on the TV, the moans ceased and Peter awkwardly reached out for his cell-phone while Wade giggled about how Peter's ringtone was the Spider-Man theme song. "Shut up!" Peter hissed quietly as Wade covered his mouth comically with both hands. 

"H-hello?" Peter cleared his throat nervously. "Mr. Stark?" 

"Don't FUCKING 'Mr. Stark' me! You have a shit ton of explains to do Peter!" Tony yelled, making Steve flinch, and feel sorry for Peter.

"Uh...what do you—?"

"You're fucking Deadpool right now! You idiots activated the Cast-To device and I'm here seeing the whole DISGUSTING scene of you and Wade FUCKING Wilson fucking on a nasty ass bed!" Tony screeched like a depressed llama.

"I uh- I'm sorry Mr. Stark! I didn't realize I had done that...wait I thought the Training Wheels Protocol wasn't on this suit...?" Peter questioned.

"Well it fucking is and I better see your ass over here in FIVE MINUTES or else you won't have a suit any-FUCKING-more!" Tony threatened, making the screen redirect it's attention to the clothing pile littered on Wade's apartment floor. There was awkward movement and a couple of whines from a still hard Wade as Peter pulled out and suited up. Peter tripped a couple of times and Wade offered help but Peter simply pushed him away. A couple a hushed words were exchanged, a quick "I'll text you..." and "I'm so sorry." from Peter and he was out the door. 

"On my way sir!" Peter squeaked.

"Yeah. I see that." Tony growled before Peter deactivated the casting and the TV went back to the episode of Supernatural Quill was watching with Natasha.

Quill snorted. "Poor kid. Didn't even get to finish." 

Tony glared. "He deserved that."

Steve sighed and watched as a blur of red and blue stumbled into the common room, awaiting the yells and tantrums of Tony "The Cock-Blocker" Stark.


	2. Chapter 2

**Summary for the Chapter:**

> Thank you again @drgnsyr for figuring out the message behind this story. I will now present the consequence to Tony's abusive behavior. And though you wanted me to show how Peter rips Tony a new one, frankly I have a even more heart wrenching idea where Wade and Peter's relationship is on the line. I might make a third chapter if I get enough inspiration, as for now, enjoy the heart break.
> 
> (If you have no idea what I'm talking about, check the comment @drgnsyr made and my reply on the previous chapter.)

When Peter arrived, Tony was yelling— no; he was belting. Screeching like a banshee. Peter took Tony's insults, the "How dare you?"s and the name calling and the threats to take away Peter's suit. Peter took it. Tony was all Peter had, Aunt May passed only a year ago and Tony was all the family Peter had left. Of course there were the Avengers, but before them it was Tony who had recruited him. Who believed in him.

Who gave him things Peter never imagined could even exist.

So when Tony said that Peter was no longer allowed to see, or to even speak to, Wade ever again. Peter took that too. Peter sulked and pouted, and whined. And tried to explain how much Wade meant to him to Tony, but Tony wouldn't listen. The only reason why Tony stopped screaming was because Steve came down with some liquor and Tony's throat was dry from yelling. 

Peter made his way up to his temporary room, one Tony had given him when Aunt May died and Peter didn't have a steady job besides the one at the Bugle. Tony had said there was no way Peter could sustain himself by selling selfies...so Peter accepted the gift and stayed at the tower until a better opportunity arose. It has, several times, but Tony insists that Peter is better use in the lab than anywhere else.

Peter took off his suit, he felt powerless. Dependent of Tony and the gifts Tony had given him. Peter looked down at the suit only to shove it behind his pillow to no longer see it. To no longer see what was holding him, but then he looked around the room and realized that the suit wasn't the only thing imprisoning him.

WADE: please call me. 5:14 PM

WADE: im sorry...u probably never liked me. 8:43 AM

WADE: hey...can we talk? 7:32 AM

\----

Peter read the messages he had been ignoring the past 3 days. His heart ached at the sight of Wade's words. He felt himself cornered.

Will he sacrifice the person he has fallen head over heels for, for his only remaining family?

Or will he sacrifice the last member of his family for a person who he has fallen in love with?

Peter came to a conclusion.

Family is forever.  
Lovers aren't.

Sorry Wade.  
Was Peter's last thought before he burst out crying, soaking his pillow as his alarm for 7:40 AM rang.

___________

The next day, Wade had figured if Peter was too much of a pussy to talk, Wade would go directly to Tony and sort this out himself.

Wade bust in through the window, having done this every time he wanted to converse with the Avengers, he knew Tony would be up around this time having his coffee.

Wade is, of course, right.

"What the hell are you doing here Wade?' Tony hissed 

"I'm here to have a conversation with you. About Peter." Wade frowned. "He hasn't spoken to me since you called him in a craze because we were fucking." 

"Yeah, well, he doesn't want to talk to you Wade. Okay? Why would Peter, a young man with so much potential, waste his time with a good for nothing, ass-hat like you?" Tony frowned. Peter had so much greatness within him, why did he have to waste it with this guy? Honestly, he hopes Wade would just leave. 

Wade stared at Tony, with a pained look on his face. Finally, he spoke.  
"Okay, look Tony. I may not be good for Peter, but even if that's the case; that's his mistake to make. You don't get to emotionally blackmail his personal life just because you provide the tech for his stupid little superhero phase. You don't get to control him just because you want to make him 'the best he can be'. Peter is already amazing. And he should be the one who calls the shots, not you. If Peter wants to fuck an avocado, he should be able to make that decision. Not you. I don't care how much you've given him, if you really care about him you won't hold all those things against him. You're not giving him gifts, you're just putting down leverage to use for whenever you want to control his life."

Tony didn't reply for a while. The room's only noise was the heavy sounds of Tony and Wade's breathing and the hushed whispers of the Avengers who had listened in on the conversation. Including Peter, who was dumbfounded by this revelation. Wade is right. Tony is holding these gifts against Peter. But what is Peter supposed to do about that?

Tony frowned and furrowed his eyebrows. "Get out."

Wade glared and took out his grappling hook before shooting it out the broken window and zipping away.

Messaging: WADE

PETER: i heard what you told tony.. 12:25 PM

WADE: FUCK YOU. 12:25 PM

**Notes for the Chapter:**

> Thank you again @drgnsyr for the motivation and the dialogue for Wade 👏👏👏


	3. Chapter 3

**Summary for the Chapter:**

> The one where Wade watches J.J.J. and Steve gets laid(?).

**Notes for the Chapter:**

> I go to a very difficult school. I mean, I have all A's but fuuuuuuck am I busy.

Wade glared at the message. How dare the message bubble announce it's presence with the sounds of a peaceful chirp. This is NOT a peaceful situation. He typed back a response, 'FUCK YOU' being all he could think of in his rage.   
How dare Peter lead him on this way? Wade had done everything Peter had wanted. He stopped killing. He would shut himself up before Peter had to. He gave Peter space. Hell, he didn't even know what the fucker looked like. All he knew was his name and that he's Spider-Butt. 

In his inner monologue, Wade failed to notice he had passed his apartment by 15 blocks.

-

Peter felt his heart wrench. Maybe this is what it felt like to be squeezed to death by an anaconda?   
Peter was currently stuffing his belonging into an old backpack. And by "his belongings" he REALLY meant HIS belongings. Which included his old suit, his old laptop, and his old clothes. 

Old seemed to be the recurring description. 

He heard Steve and Tony arguing from the other room and the shuffles of Avengers trying to avoid the fight and get some food. Tony would get over this. Peter isn't even really his real son. Peter is nothing to Tony besides an occasional sidekick. A common lab partner, at best. 

Slinging his backpack over his shoulder, Peter positioned his foot on the open windowsill. He stared at the note he left on the bed before jumping out the window and swinging into action.

-

Steve had his arms crossed, Tony was rambling fiercely and Steve decided to let all Tony's words enter one ear and go out the other. He knew what Tony was saying. It was the exact same speech Tony would always bore into his mind whenever anything remotely like this occured. The same "They don't understand" and "They're misjudging me" and "I have every right to think this way" blah blah blah, bullshit.

Steve could really use a martini. 

Finally, Tony was starting to reach the end of his statement and Steve started to unwind. He released hold of his face muscles that were portraying an annoyed and disappointed face and he let it melt to one of understanding. "Tony." Steve called quietly. 

All the Avengers had disappeared by this point. They knew that right now, the world belonged to Steve and Tony. Moments like this, when Tony needed a reminder of what it meant to be a good person, they needed to give the two space. Steve always got to Tony in ways others couldn't. Not even Pepper who, in her life, knew Tony best. But now, with her dead, Tony only has Steve.

"Peter isn't your son." Steve had mastered this way of talking. A stern emotion but with calm. Quiet. Almost silent. But a punch. 

"I know Steve..." Tony looked anywhere but at Steve.

"He needs to make his own choices. Wade was right about that." Steve noticed Tony's discomfort at being told Wade was right. "I know it's difficult. I get it. But Wade was changing, for the better. Maybe Peter is what the guy needs. One less menace seems to be a win to me. And if Peter is happy with it, then who are we to ruin something perfectly fine?"

Steve held Tony's shoulder gently and sat down with him on the nearest couch. Tony was tense but relaxed in the Super Soldier's hold.

"Peter needs to be independent. Just like you are. Don't you want him to be better than you?" 

"Yeah, but-"

"No 'but's, Anthony." Steve smiled. "That only makes you sound childish." 

Tony let out a small sound: a forced laugh.

"Listen. Peter most likely left and is heading to find Wade. I can assure you that he isn't in his room because it's Thursday and it's eight o clock so if he were here he'd be watching the newest Supernatural episode. So, Tony, tell me. Tell me what you intend to do now?"

Tony finally met Steve's eyes. "Tell him I'm sorry?" 

"And?"

"And...stop guarding him like a dog?"

"And?"

"And...and let him live his own life..."

"And?"

"Damn, Popsicle, I'm half drunk! I can't think of much else!"

Steve laughed, easing the tension. "I thought your head functioned more efficiently when you're drunk?" Steve teased.

"Only in sex, my man, only in sex." Tony smirked. 

"Then you should drink up," Steve winked suggestively and handed Tony some whisky. 

The two stayed quiet for a while. Obviously, Tony would do nothing that he just planned to. Steve knew Tony would most likely be too prideful to apologize. And no matter what; Tony would always watch Peter like a hawk. At least he might ease off a bit. 

How do you eat an elephant?  
Steve asked himself.  
One bite at a time.

-

Wade rolled into his apartment through the open window, he struck a Spider-Man pose before going slack. 

Can't do that anymore. It only makes you feel shittier.  
Logic reminded him.   
The white text box that poked him with it's sharp edges. 

"I can do whatever the FUCK I want." Wade yanked his mask off and started to unload his weapons. 

Oo maybe we can jack off to Tom Holland.  
Insanity suggested.

"Ew."

You said whatever!   
Insanity argued.

"Yeah, whatever I WANT." Wade rolled his eyes. He shuffled his feet against the stained carpet. He would swear the white ones are ice cream but he's not entirely sure. Wade lifted a couple of pillows before finding the remote underneath his Hello Kitty cushion. He turned on the TV to see some good ol' J.J.J. 

"Man or Menace? Menace! Of course! He claims to be some sort of hero, but he's just a boy trying to do a man's job!" James yelled furiously at the camera. He was being interviewed by a red headed reporter, Wade never caught her name. He didn't care much. He just wanted to listen to someone talk crap about the guy he hates right about now.

"Are you sure? I mean, Spider-Man has been working a lot with the Avengers lately. Maybe he's starting to get to those "man" jobs?" The reporter asked. 

"Nope! Nope! Nope!" James shook his head wildly. "Tony Stark is just giving the kid a position because he feels sorry for him. I have reliable sources that swear on their mother's grave that Spider-Man is a freeloader in Avengers tower!"

"Don't most Avengers stay in the tower?" The reporter questioned, Wade noticed she was getting tired of James'...enthusiasm.

"At least they're good at what they do! Let me tell you something, little lady. When you've been doing this kind of work for as long as I have, you know a slacker when you see one. 'Can nearly smell it! And Spider-Man REAKS."

The poor woman sighed and shrugged at whom Wade assumed to be the directors. "Well, we'll get right back on this...enticing conversation after this commercial break." 

The logo of the show blared on the screen before a commercial on Little Ceasers started. Wade hadn't realized he was standing up this entire time, so he sat down. Only to get back up when he heard a knock on the door. 

We didn't order pizza.  
Logic reminded 

WE'RE GETTING PIZZA?!  
Insanity screeched excitedly.

In the confusion, Wade swung the door open without taking any of his usual precautions. Suddenly, he was engulfed in a hug with a brunette man. He looked like he's in his late twenties. Built, and almost as tall as Wade. 

"Um...I didn't know the free-hug people were going door to door now. If you're looking for change, I spent it all on something I can't remember now." Wade struggled to get free of the strangers' hold.

"Wade, it's me." The brunette smiled. Wade could recognize that voice anywhere.

"Leave me alone." Wade started to close the door but the slick little guy made his way through. 

"I just want to talk-"

"I've been trying to do that with you for the past three days! What? You think you can show me your face and suddenly everything's okay? Am I supposed to feel enlightened? NEWSFLASH: It's not working!" Wade huffed.   
Knowing Peter wouldn't budge on leaving just yet, he closed the door and stomped over to his kitchen. 

"I know. I know, Wade I fucked up-"

Wade tsked. 

"I just want to fix things." Peter finished. "Tell me how to fix this."

Wade crossed his arms and eyed Peter through the corner of his eye. Wade wore a snarl on his face but already he felt himself forgiving Peter. Look at him, trying to fix things...Peter is good that way. He always fixes things. Why should Wade protest when Peter is trying to apologize-

For Christ's sake, Wade he's playing you like a fiddle.  
Logic groaned.

Wade ignored him and turned to face Peter. "How do you think you should fix this?"   
Wade wasn't certain what he was looking for in Peter's answer. He just said something. Anything. He couldn't stay long in the silence.

"I...I think I could take you out on a proper date?"

"And?"

"And..stay away from Tony's toxicity?"

"And?"

"And..love you." 

Wade looked Peter up and down. "Peter...you hardly know who I am."

"And already I feel I love you." 

Wade took a step forward, Peter mirrored his actions. Everything felt slow. And better. At least they weren't fighting anymore. At least Wade heard those words.

"Ding ding ding."

-

Steve and Tony had binged some episodes of BoJack Horseman. Steve said it was too depressing, Tony liked it that way. 

Tony couldn't help but notice how close Steve was getting. Not just in Tony's friend group, but in the literal, physical distance between Tony's and Steve's knee. Steve occasionally brushed his hand against Tony's and Tony could not overlook the frequent bumps of their thighs. 

Tony did not like Steve that way. No. It was too soon. Pepper just died. Pepper just...

She was in an accident.  
She was pregnant. 

Tony had told her not to go out without him, he wanted to go with her to the appointment. They were going to find out the gender of their baby. Pepper whined and said Tony always knew everything, for once

"-let me know something you don't!" Pepper pouted. Her cheeks were chubbier than not-pregnant-Pepper. Tony found her adorable in her pregnant look. 

"I want to see too! This is my child just as much as it's yours and I'd like to stop calling it 'it'." Tony reasoned with a smile. Hooking his hands into the loops of her jeans. 

They stayed quiet, dancing in the silence of the room. Pepper breathed in deeply. This, her pregnancy, had been a surprise. Tony didn't think he could ever be a parent. Pepper just hadn't seen it coming. 

"I can do the cake thing, where you slice it and the color of the inner layers is the gender?" She suggested. Trying to convince him.

"I don't think we'd have time for another baby shower." Tony smiled into her neck.

"You don't have time for anything." Pepper snapped suddenly. "I wonder if you'll even have time for the baby."

Again, silence. They stopped dancing. 

"I just want to know-

"-What's going on in that head of yours?" Steve asked with a smile.

Tony turned his head to look at Steve. "Ah, nothing." He shrugged. 

"Oh." Steve shifted awkwardly. "Okay."

They stayed quiet. Steve let his knee touch Tony's. This time he left it there.

"Tony, I-"

"Let's have sex." Tony interrupted. Steve looked at him in surprise.

"What?" 

"You were gonna confess how you like me just now, right?" Tony sat so his body faced Steve.

"I...yeah. How?"

"Don't worry about that. You want to have sex?" Tony urged. Almost frustrated 

"I..I guess? But, Tony, this isn't how I planned

this." Pepper frowned. "I wasn't expecting to get pregnant." 

"You were on the pill!" Tony sighed. 

"You think I don't know that?" 

"Well I guess we'll just have to...roll with it?"

"Sometimes

things don't go as planned." Tony frowned. "Take your pants off. Let's see how efficient I work when I'm drunk."

Steve complied.

**Notes for the Chapter:**

> Sorry the ending is a bit confusing, basically Tony is remembering moments with Pepper in transition with the present with Steve-o
